Harvest Moon
first appeared on
SNES in 1996. It was a huge success, and the series started to expand
on Gameboy Color, Playstation and Nintendo 64. The success was so huge
they even made some versions aiming at girls, with HM: Another
Wonderful Life being one of them. Harvest Moon is now appearing on
Gameboy Advance, Playstation 2, Gamecube and soon DS and PSP. Every
Harvest Moon game is about a young farmer who has to take care of his
farm and live his every day life on a farm. This game isn't for
everybody, but if you'd like to take a peek at what living on a farm
looks like, Harvest Moon is a really great simulation. Be prepared to
work hard every day.

Please
read this section before e-mailing me. I like receiving e-mails,
but when I receive 20 e-mails asking me the same question that is
already answered right here word for word, it's just despairing.

Q:What are the
differences between the girls's version of HM:AWL and the boys' version?

A:
Aside from the fact
that you play as a girl in this version, the differences are pretty
minor. You now marry a guy (obviously), your kids are different, you
can now train your dog, your character can change clothes, there is now
a mirror in your house, the pasture is a bit different and the prices
of the seeds have changed. Apart from those differences, both games are
the exact same.

Q:
I just started playing and I
don't know what to do.

A:
There's not much to
do as you start the game, you can milk your cow in the barn using the
milker in your inventory (X). Then you can go in the Tool Shed to pick
up the Watering Can. You can also go in the Food Storage to deposit
your milk and order some items from the ledger. Order a Sickle and a
Hoe and maybe some other animals to start. The game will really start
in the next few days as you start to buy and sell more things.

Q:
How do I save my progress?

A:
You need to enter
your house and look at the beside table to find your diary, on which
you can save your progress. You can also save before going to sleep.

Q:
What should I eat?

A:
When you start the
game, there's not much to eat as you can't make many recipes yet. The
best thing to do is to look around the farm for Mugshots, small plants
that grows in spring. You can eat this, the produces you'll grow later
in the game, or the fish you catch when you have the fishing rod. If
you eat recipes, your character will be less hungry though.

Q:
There's a locked shed on the farm and it won't open. What's inside?

A:
This may have been
supposed to be something but they decided not to do anything with it
and didn't take it off the game. There's nothing inside, and there's no
way of opening it. Natsume themselves said you couldn't
open it at all.

Q:
How do I get Tartan?

A: Visit Takakura in his
house between 5:00 PM and 10:00 PM at winter time starting from Chapter
2, and you'll get a cutscene where Takakura introduces you to Tartan.
You may need to give Takakura some cooked recipes before to make sure
he is your friend (to get the Hybrids, that is).

Q:
Where are the horse races?

A:
There are no horse races in this installement of the series. (I receive
way too many e-mails asking me this question, please read the FAQ!)

Q: Can I fish in
the ocean using the boat that's on the beach? I heard we could catch
whales.

A: No, she's not. She's
in More Friends of Mineral Town. You need to link that game to the GBA
one.

Q:
I never catch anything while fishing...

A:
Remember that when the fish starts biting, you'll hear a series of
small sounds and see some waves above the surface of the water. This
isn't the time to cast back the lure yet, you'll have to wait until you
hear and see the big "splash". But this still isn't the time to reel it
in, you'll have to wait right after
that splash to pull the fish out of the water. Also, check your
horoscope before going out to fish. If you have a bad horoscope, you'll
get all the bad fish.

Q:
How do I make butter and cheese?

A: You'll need to buy
the Food Processing Room from the ledger (30000G). You
can then use your milk to transform it into butter or cheese.

Q:
How do I order things?

A: Simply, go inside the
Food Storage, examine the ledger at the left of the freezer, and there
you go.

Q:
How do I cook dessert?

A:
You'll have to start by cooking a lot of different sorts of soups and
salads and eventually, you'll learn how to cook different dishes.

Q: What happened
to my fertile land at the back? There are trees there!

A: Don't worry, you can
still use it, but later in the game. Once you get Tartan, later in the
game, he will offer you the option to chop down the trees at the back
of the field so you can start using the fertile land again. He will
charge you a bit of money though.

Q: The grass in
my pasture won't grow, I can't feed my animals!

A: You need to buy
Fertilizers from Vesta's farm and put the Fertilizers on the grass. It
will then take a while to grow before you can start cutting it. Once
you have fertilized a patch of grass, you won't need to fertlize it
again, it will always grow back.

Q:
My cow stopped giving milk!

A:
The cow you start the game with will give milk for 1 year. Then, it'll
need to give birth to produce milk again (so you'll need a male on your
farm). Also, the cows you buy won't give milk right
away, they're still too young. You'll need to wait 30 days
for them to grow, then have them give birth to have them produce milk.

Q:
How do I get the horse? The ducks?? The cat??? The chihuahua????

A:
First, take a deep breath, then click here to learn how to get
the
horse, here
for the ducks, and here for the cat and
chihuahua. You can
breathe out now.

Q:
Can I get the lizard from Mukumuku? And what about the turtle?

A: No, that's just a
false rumor.

Q:
Can I choose which girl my son will fall in love with?

A: No way.

Q:
Can I keep playing once the game is over? Can I play as my son?

A: No, you can't play as
your son. You can however replay the third chapter as yourself once the
game is
over.

Q:
Why should I link up HM:AWL to More Friends of Mineral Town?

A: You can buy exclusive
records from Van's Shop when both games are linked.

This is your place. You won't
be spending much time in though, since
there's a lot to do outside. There are seven main useful things in your
house:

The beside
table; you
can save your current game there, sleep when you're tired, look at
yourself in the mirror to see how you're feeling and finally, you can
look at the status log, which shows you everything you possess.

The
television; open the
TV to know about what's going on in Forget-Me-Valley, the local news,
weather, horoscope, and features.

Trashcan;
stand next to it holding what you want to throw away to get rid of that.

Cooking;
here you can
cook a meal when you're hungry and have some things to cook with. (see
Cooking section for more info)

The chest;
this chest contains your different clothes. You can buy them from Van.
Click here.

The calendar;
this shows
you what day/season it is and also all important dates like Van's
coming into town.

The bookshelf;
here you
can change the buttons for the controls and also read Takakura's useful
notes as how to take care of your farm.

Dog's
House
It is located at the left of your house. This is where your dog sleeps
at night or hides on rainy days.

Takakura's
House
This is where Takakura lives. There's not much to do in, only a note
about how to make a good dessert.

Food
Storage

Here you can stock the food you
want to keep fresh in the freezer.
You also put the produces
you want to sell in the storage bin
(milk, eggs) and the next morning, look at the ledger for the money. This also
serves to order new animals, tools, items, and buildings.

Tool Shed

This building is situated just
next to the barn. This is where you
stock your tools, seeds, and other stuff you don't want to bring with
you. When you order a new tool, Takakura will put it in the shelf.

The Barn

This is where most of your
animals stay. You only have place for 6
animals. You'll only need to put the animals in the barn when the
weather is very bad, otherwise leave them outside or they won't be
happy. If you choose to put them inside, you'll have to feed them once
(twice for the cow) a day. The food
is in the fodder on the wall,
and you make food by cutting the
grass from the pasture outside with the sickle. Unlike in AWL,
in AnWL, you first need to buy Fertilizers
from Vesta and use them on the grass. It will then grow on the patches
of grass where you've used it.

Chicken
Coop

This is where your chickens and
ducks stay. Don't forget to order the bird
feed from the ledger in
the Food Storage and put it in
the bird
seed bin. Once you've ordered the bird
feed, it will be in stored in the shelf inside the Tool Shed. The bird feed will last
for several days, but don't forget to check it once in a while.

Mystery
Shed
This is the shed on your farm that is always locked no matter what.
" It's just there. It never opens.
There is nothing you can do to open it. "
- Natsume

Food
Processing Room

You can buy this building
expansion from the ledger for 30000G. It's expensive, so you'll
get it later in the game. With this, you
can turn milk into cheese and butter, which sell for more.

Milking
Room

You can buy this building
expansion from the ledger for 60000G. It's really expensive, so
you'll get it later in the game. This useful expansion will milk your
cow for you.

Tools

Hoe

This is the tool you'll use to
plough your fields. You'll start off
with the Heavy Hoe, which you
can find in the Tool Shed, but
it drains too much energy. As soon as you can, order the Light Hoe from the ledger. This one doesn't drain as
much energy. The Strange and Weird
Hoes are special hoes that help you build your strenght, so keep
them.

Water
Can

Use this tool to water your
plants at least once a day. You'll start
off with the Small Water Can,
which can be found in the Tool Shed,
but later on, you can buy the Large
Water Can from the ledger,
which can hold a lot more water. Fill up your Water Can with water from
the small fountain at the right of the Chicken Coop.

Sickle

This tool is used to cut the
grass in the pasture. The grass you cut
will end up in the fodder, from where you take the grass to feed your
animals in the barn. Before cutting the grass, you will need to
fertilize it with Fertilizers
bought from Vesta, and wait for the grass to grow. You'll start off
with the Heavy Sickle, which
you can find in the Tool Shed,
but it drains way too much energy. As soon as you can, order the Light Sickle from the ledger. This one doesn't drain as
much energy. The Strange and Weird
Sickles are special sickles that help you build your strenght,
so keep them.

Cow
Milker

You can use this tool to milk
your cows. You start the game with it in your backpack, no need to buy
it. Your cows can be milked twice a day.

Wool
Shears

Use this tool to trim your
sheep's fleece. You can order it from the ledger for 400 G. Your sheep can be trimmed
once a month.

Brush

You can buy the brush from Van's shop for 500G. Use the brush to brush your
animals' fur. If they're outside, and near
the watering place, you can even wash them. The sheep is the most
important animal to brush if you want golden fleece.

Fishing
Pole

You can buy the Fishing Pole
for 500G from Van's shop, a very important item.
Fishing will earn you a lot of money. You can also get the Fishing Rod, which is better than
the pole, from Galen by making
friend with him.

Seed
Maker
This machine will turn crops
into seeds. You can buy it for 6000G
from the ledger in the Food
Storage or get it
from Daryl for free if you
become friend with him.

Your Life

Marriage

It is necessary in HMAWL to
marry one of the 3 bachelors available in the game if you want to
continue beyond Chapter 1. Give gifts he likes to the bachelor that
interests you and the number of hearts in his diary will increase. When
he has at least 4 hearts in his diary, you can give him the Blue Feather
(given by the Harvest Sprites at the start of Summer) to get engaged
with him. You will get married at the end of the first year. If you
didn't give the blue feather to anybody, the guy who loves you the most
will ask you for marriage. If you decline, the game will end.

Marlin is the perfect farmer's
husband. He is Vesta's brother and works on her farm. He knows
everything about agriculture. He may give a first impression of being
cold and rude, but in reality, he is just shy. He has a crush on Celia,

must check
inside the chest in your house to change clothes. To get Van to sell
more outfits, look in the mirror every day and change outfits often.
You can also buy Interior Designs from Van to change the look of your
furniture. He will sell them starting from Chapter 2. Click here
for a list of the outfits and their price.

Your animals

In
Another Wonderful Life, you need to buy Fertilizers from Vesta to
fertilize the grass of your pasture to be able to cut it to make fodder
for your animals. It takes quite a while to grow, so plan ahead.

The Cow is the first animal you get
on your farm. It can produce milk, which you can sell to make some
money at the beginning of the game. There are various kinds of cows you
can get. Order the cows you want from the ledger in the Food Storage.
The price your milk will sell for depends on the type of cow you have.

Taking Care
& Feeding

The cow needs to be
petted at least twice a day if you want S milk, talk to it twice a day
too, and brush it at least once a day. If the cow is outside, it will
feed itself in the pasture so you don't need to feed it. However if the
cow is inside the barn, you'll need to give it fodder twice a day.
Never let your cow inside except if it's raining or snowing. The cow
will be happy when it's outside. If you take good care of your cow, it
can give you up to 4 bottles of milk and sometimes S ranks. The cow
gives milk twice a day so you will get a lot of money if you take
really good care of it.

The Horse is probably the most
useful animal. You can ride it to travel faster between long distances
that usually take twice as much time. Takakura will order the horse for
you at the end of the first month.

Taking Care
& Feeding

Taking care of the horse
isn't really important, as it doesn't earn any money. You can pet it,
talk to him, but it won't change anything. Don't forget to feed it
though, leave it in the pasture when you're not using it or give it
fodder once a day when it is inside the barn. Ride it once a day and
don't leave it in the rain.

The Chicken is one of the first
animals you may want to get. You'll need to buy a male and a female if
you want your chicken to produce eggs, which you can sell for money or
let them hatch to get more chickens. Never keep more than 6 chickens if
you want to get some ducks later on.

Taking Care
& Feeding

To pet the chickens, hold
them, pet them, and put them down. After a while, they'll start
producing fertilized eggs if you let the female cove the egg long
enough. You can sell that egg or put it in the incubator to hatch it.
It will take around one week and you'll get a new chick. The normal
eggs themselves don't sell for a lot, so you'll need to have a lot of
chickens if you want to take advantage of them, or simply take good
care of them to get Golden Eggs, which sell for a lot more than the
normal eggs. The chickens eat Bird Feed, which you can buy for 150G
from the ledger. One Bird Feed will last for about 1 week depending on
how many chickens you have in the Coop. Order another Bird Feed before
the current one is all eaten, since it takes a while to receive your
orders. Takakura places the Bird Feed you order on the shelf in the
Tool Shed.

The Sheep is an afterthought animal
to get. It produces wool once by season and the best wool you can get
if you take good care of it is the Golden Wool, which only sells for
600G. So the sheep will earn you 2400G by year at best. Cows are much
more profitable, but having at least one sheep is also a good thing.

Taking Care
& Feeding

The sheep is a very affectionate animal. Pet it A LOT, talk to it,
brush and wash it (very important). Do this everyday and eventually
your sheep will start having Gold Wool. You don't know what kind of
wool it will give you this season before you trim it. Sell the wool to
Van. The sheep will need to eat fodder once a day or will eat itself if
in the pasture. Leave it outside, but put it in the barn only on rainy
or snowy days.

The Goat does the same as the cow
(it gives you milk), except that it only does so for one year. Once the
goat stops giving milk, it doesn't do anything else. So only get the
goat if you want to have all the animals possible on your farm. You'll
be able to buy the goat from Van in Chapter 2. You can only get 1 goat,
so think about it twice before selling it.

Taking Care
& Feeding

Take care of it the same
way you do with cows and sheep. It eats fodder once a day, and need to
be petted and brushed if you want it to produce good milk.

The Ducks do the same as the
chickens, they produce eggs. In order to get them, you'll need to buy a
pond for 2500G from the ledger in Chapter 1 and have less than 6
chickens. You'll get the ducks somewhere during Chapter 2, after the
summer, they'll come over to your pond. You can get more by hatching
their eggs, but don't sell your male and female since you won't be able
to get back other ducks.

Taking Care
& Feeding

Take care of them the
same way you do with chickens. They eat Bird Feed and like to be
outside.

You can have up to 3
different pets on your farm. Two dogs and a cat. The first dog you will
get is the one at the start of the game, which you can choose between a
long eared one of a pointy eared one. You can train your dog if you'd
like, and even bring him inside your house.

The second dog you can get is Carter's Chihuahua. Become friend with
him and Flora by giving them items and finding important items while
digging. Later in the game if you help him a lot, he'll give you his
Chihuahua.

The other pet you can get is the cat. All you have to do is becoming
friend with Romana, the old lady who lives in the villa. She's mostly
out at night time. Give her some flowers every time you see her and in
Chapter 2, she'll come over to your house in fall to give you a cat.

Taking Care
& Feeding

The pets don't need as
much attention as the other animals. They'll never get sick.. You can
feed them for fun, but it's not necessary. If ever you want to feed
your dog, you can just give him the same food you eat.

Your crops

Seeds

You
can buy the seeds from
Vesta's Farm. Either Marlin, Celia or Vesta sell them. Make sure to
only buy seeds that grow well in the season you currently are in or
they'll wilt and you'll have lost your money. Before planting the
seeds, plow the soil with your hoe in the spots where it's fertile. The
crops need to be watered once a day, except on rainy days. You can put Fertilizer (also
bought from Vesta) on your crops to get better ranked
ones (varies from B-rank to S-rank), the S-ranks ones being the crops
that sell for the most. You'll need the Seed Maker to really benefit from
your crops.

Hybrids

To make Hybrid Seeds, you'll
need Tartan. To get Tartan, you'll need to visit Takakura in his house
between 5:00 PM and 10:00 PM starting from Chapter 2. If Takakura's in
the house, you'll get a cutscene where you'll meet with Tartan. Once
that's done, befriend Tartan (he likes cooked recipes) and he'll start
making Hybrid Seeds for you. To make one, mix 2 different seeds
together.

Cooking

Cooking is a big part of the
game, although it's not necessary. The recipes don't sell for that
much, considering the price you pay to get the crops to make the
recipes (and not too mention it takes quite a long time to grow the
crops). However, eating the recipes you cook will make you a lot less
hungry.

To cook other recipes than soups
and salads, you'll need to cook a lot of soups and salads (about
20) and try not to make any failed recipes. The recipes listed below
are just a few examples, you can cook a lot more recipes than that. Try
your owns.

Making Money

Fishing

Fishing is a good way of making
money on a quiet day. You can buy the Fishing Pole from Van's Shop, for
500G. You can afterwards get the Fishing Rod by befriending Galen.

Fishing Spots

1 Lower
River
2 Middle River3 Upper River4 Spring5 Swamp

There are 3 water spots to fish
at; the spring, Turtle Swamp and the river. The spring is located next
to the Harvest Sprite's house, the Turtle Swamp near Gustafa's house
and the river near your farm. There are 3 different spots to fish at in
the river; the Upper River, Middle River and Lower River. Lower is by
the bridge, Upper is by the waterfall.

How to fish

To catch a fish, stand next to
one
of the water spots and take out the fishing pole from your inventory.
Press A to throw the lure into the water. Now you need to wait until a
fish start biting, but don't take the lure out of the water yet, you'll
need to wait until you hear a biting sound and see the fish bite the
lure hard before reeling it in. Reel it in after the big splash, or you
won't pull anything out of the water. When you get the fish, keep
holding the A button until your character pulls the fish out of the
water.

* You will get better fish on days when your horoscope is good.

Archeology

Digging is something you may
want to do on a rainy day when you're not feeling like fishing. It
doesn't
really earn as much money though. Go see Carter between 9:00 AM and
5:00 PM inside the dig site and he'll tell you came just at the right
time.
To dig, stand on a spot and press A. You won't always find something,
it's all random. Try the same spots a few times before giving up. At
the end, Carter will let you keep the items you found, except the
Tablets, which he'll keep.

Animals profits

Animals will be your biggest
source of money. You can sell the cows' milk, the chickens' eggs and
the sheep's wool (click here
to learn more about how to take proper care of your animals).

For the Golden
Eggs, take really good care of your chickens. As for the Golden Wool,
wash your sheep regularly. The milk ranks are the same, take care of
your cows, give them Good Fodder (can be ordered from the ledger), pet
them, brush them, talk to them. Cows with perfect health and affection
for you can produce S-Rank milk up to 4 bottles, so 8 bottles a day
(considering you can milk them twice a day)! Star cows are the most
expensive, but have the best milk.

To get
butter and cheese, you'll need to buy the Food Processing Room.

Crops Profits

To really benefit from your
crops, you'll need the Seed Maker (6000G or given by Daryl). Plant some
seeds of a very good crop (like the watermelon, which sell for the
most) and once it has harvested, pick them up and place them in the
Seed Maker. Some days later, check back the Seed Maker and for each
crop you placed in, there'll be 2 seed bags. Then repeat the process
and you can double your crops each time without having to pay for other
seeds. Starting from Chapter 2, you can also get Tartan, who will make
Hybrid seeds for you. These combinations of different seeds sell for
more. Cooking is also a way of making money with your crops. Click here
for more information about the seeds, crops, hybrids and recipes.

That's
All!
